They used to do that with Buffalo. They called it making or taking a stand. I think the record was well over a hundred buffs killed without stampeding the herd. As long as each one was shot through the heart and just dropped the others would not realize anything was up and would keep grazing. Miss a little and have a buff scream or run around and the whole herd was off.

They used some huge guns for it and tripods as well, I think.

They killed off the buffalo to kill off the Native americans.

Not a picture I am proud to remember.
